raced a Sprint Enduro yesterday with the Arena mounted... i didn't like it at all. it's tall and skinny which messed with my brake/gas switchback cornering feel. it did better when the terrain dried up a little and you were climbing in a straight line, but in the morning when it was wet, it was slipping more than i thought it would. ran 5-8psi throughout the day.
going back to my preferred do-it-all the Tractionator Enduro S/T.

What size Arena did you try? What was trail conditions; roots, ruts, rocks, log crossings? Hill climbs? Do you think it's not a good "race" tire but good trail tire? Just looking for more detailed feedback. I'm interested in trying one.

I put over 1100 miles on MH, all trail in all different conditions. Overall it did well. Some conditions/terrain it performed excellent, some not so well. My riding areas terrain and conditions differ a lot. I actually should have about 3-4 different tires. I just hate changing them!

A very fast and skilled friend of mine seems to like his, curious to hear more reviews before I pull the trigger and try one.

I'm guessing both ought to be similar. It's been raining these few weeks so it's a bit muddy and slippery. It seemed to work good but want to ride more to figure where the pressure should be and where it works better and where it doesn't. It's good but it's expensive for here.. so right now it's not that much better than my maxxis IT which is much cheaper tire that I just took off.. but the ibex is working good.. plus.. most tires when brand new aren't that bad.. more testing... I like it.. but still need to ride it more. to be able to compare to other tires that work good locally.. wondering how they work compared to the shinko. I think the shinko has more tread area touching the ground.. wonder if it makes much difference.. the rubber feels soft like the shinko too.
